Title : Midnight on the San Boldo Canal - Donna Leon - Book
Summary :
In the dead of night in Venice, a teenage girl falls from the San Boldo Bridge into a canal. Unable to swim, Manuela is about to drown when a passerby saves her. But she doesn't escape unscathed, suffering irreversible brain damage that condemns her to forever retain the mind of a child.
Fifteen years later, at a charity gala, Brunetti meets Countess Lando-Continui, a wealthy patron of the arts, who turns out to be Manuela's grandmother and asks him to investigate the tragedy. She is convinced that it was not a simple accident. The commissioner hesitates because if it were a crime, the statute of limitations has expired. Guided by curiosity, compassion, and the desire to help an elderly woman wracked with guilt, and incidentally, his mother-in-law's best friend, Brunetti ends up accepting the case. A case that quickly proves to be most disturbing...
